Derrytresk to appeal bans as final looms
Four members of the Tyrone club’s starting side and a further four substitutes have been handed suspensions, but it is unclear whether the club will appeal all eight suspensions. However, it is understood the club have enlisted the services of Stewartstown solicitor and former Tyrone senior footballer, Fergal Logan, who was on the Red Hands team that lost the 1995 All-Ireland final against Dublin.
Derrytresk face a race against time in an effort to get suspensions cleared before their February 12 showdown in Croke Park, as the loss of so many players would severely weaken what is already a small panel available to joint managers Paul Canavan and Paul Hughes.
